      YouTube may support 5.1, but nobody utilizes it. When watching YouTube on my TV. I literally never hear anything playing from any speaker channels other than left, right, and subwoofer. (I have a 5.1.4 setup.)

      I’ve confirmed that 5.1 and Dolby Atmos works in other apps (even the ones I use for piracy, like Stremio and Kodi), so it’s not my TV.

      Thanks for a link I can try later; I actually just got 5.1 and so far the only thing we’ve heard is… weirdly, kids songs (which does indeed enrapture our 3yo).

        You can always add a second subwoofer, assuming your hardware supports it. The second one is just going to mirror the other.
